Watch out for that holiday stress! ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ When you’re really stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed your body produces a hormone called ‘cortisol’. This causes your glands to produce more oils. When those oils are mixed with the bacteria and protein in your skin, it’s going to cause more breakouts. ⁣⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Stress also suppresses your immune system when you’re stressed out so your skin is not going to heal very well. If you’re feeling like you’re breaking out and your skin is a little out of control— take a breather, focus on things that destress you, and make some time for yourself!
